When I had my own ‘mini referral unit’ for pre-16s, every Christmas Day I text each and every one of them to say that we were thinking of them, we hoped they were OK and that we were looking forward to seeing them again soon.
I know that for some of those young people this may have been the only message they would have received that gave them a reminder that there WAS someone in their corner.
If you work with young people but are ‘on a break from work’ – is there someone that would really benefit from knowing that you have not forgotten about them as soon as you ‘clocked out’ on that last day?…
